| flying like hail. Women screamed and
general confusion reigned. i.Ah, they are
at it again." said O'Rrien in tone OF
mournful regret, more than anger. "Yes,
yes. " roared the mob. There he is, drag
him out on the street, kill him. choke him,
tear him asunder." They almost burst
through O'Brien's body guard. which con.
sisted of American correspondents and
local officers of the National League. A man
changed hats with o 'Brien, as that worn
by the latter furnished target for the
mob, and as the party doubled into We'll
ington street another shower Of stones and
! bricks came
SPINNING THROUGH THE CROWD.
O'Brien and friends bent their heads. but
received the missiles on the body. d. F.
kellogg, New York Sun correspondent,
| and ]. NJ. Wall. q representative OF the As
sociated Press, caught up with O'Brien
just on the stoop leading to the house OF
John Newman, Protestant. on Midway
| street, between William and John streets.
The doors were opened and a shower OF
missiles again came across the street. The
crowd surged and Wall and Kellogg were
peared, evidently into Newman's house,
but up to the present time nobody is GER
tain OF this, for no one really knows where
he is.
The doors of the Newman house were
barred tightly. Wall and kellogg with j.
j. Behan, Thomas Sullivan and j. J. Con.
well, of the Chicago News, rushed around
through the vinegar works on Ontario
street for the purpose of getting into the
house by the back entrance. The mob,
however, intercepted them. They had to
FLY FOR THEIR LIVES.
The mob next rushed to the Burnett
house, thinking O'Brien was there, shout
ing ITO hell with hole rulep' "Kill him!"
and although O. Brien was not there, they
fired volley of stones at the window and
then groaned and yelled. to their hearts
content. j. NJ. Wall. the wounded cores
pondent, attempted to pass the front Of
the hotel on his way to the Telegraph
Office, but his bandaged head attracted
attention and the Orangemen went for him.
He escaped, however, and took off the
bandages. The Canadian Freeman, the
Irish Catholic organ, was wrecked. Two
hours have nov elapsed since the first
attack was made. Nobody knows where
O'Brien was, but he was soon discovered.
P. Devlin, who lives on the corner OF Wash
ington and Williams streets, stole down to
the Chief of Police and said:
''o'BR1EN is SAFE WITH Me-"
Chief Horsey, with Mayor Carson and six
policemen, went to Devlin's house and
brought O'Brien to the Burnett house. The
latter reached Devlin's house in this way:
The alleyway at the Newman's afforded
shelter. Hogan changed hats with O'Brien
just as
STONE STRUCK O'BRIEH
on the back of the neck and just as a
powerful Orangeman with a club was going
to cleave open his skull. The house of an
Orangeman named Donnelly adjoined this
alley on the other side, and O'Brien got in
there and was smuggled to Devlin's house
for his blood. Il will protect you to the
hotel, said the Mayor. II will call out the
artillery You will?" exclaimed O. Brien
II don't want your protec-
tion now. You saw a mob of demons.
500 strong, outside that hall
THIRsTlNG FOR MY BLOOD
while was addressing the meeting, and
you didn't disperse them. Where were
your artillery then, sir? Lansdowne
and Rowland wipked at the efforts
to murder nae in Toronto, and now
Lansdowne and you wink at
the efforts to murder me here. II
AIN not going to give you credit OF the pre-
tense Of having protected me, when you
could have done it if you wished but did
not.'' The mayor said no more. The
policemen acted the same as those at
Toronto. In the early part of the evening
they would not permit any O'Brienite to
wait on the outside of the hall, and even
said, "Move on" to the American CORE
spondents awaiting O'Brien's arrival, but
the moment the Orangemen appeared,
many with clubs and sticks in Their hands,
there was no interference. They were
allowed to hiss and groan until O'Brien
came out. On his way from Devlin's house
the crowd collected around O'Brien, con-
him on his escape. He was
able to stand. His throat was
full OF dust and his clothes battered.
He said: "Well 60 through to the end,
boys. yet"
O'Brien and party will start tomorrow
morning for Hamilton, where meeting will
be held on Monday. He will spend Sunday
1T Niagara Falls.
